Jobs in Patient Experience
We support the whole Trust, across five hospital sites, by receiving and sharing patient feedback with clinical teams and leaders.
We then support those teams to respond, enact change and make improvements.
Why join us in Patient Experience?
You'll have lots of opportunities to influence service improvements across the Trust, and be able to work with a wide range of stakeholders.
No day is ever the same, and you'll hear a variety of experiences from patients and the public. You'll get to hear all the best experiences, where we’ve really made a difference to that person’s life, and you'll also have the opportunity to help someone who has been through a difficult experience or needs support.
